My UPS guy is amazing, he puts packages out of the streets view and out of the way of possible rain.

UPS seems to be OK but my colleges mail room staff are another thing all together. They sometimes can be quite rough when handling the goods.
A friend of mine had ordered a power rocket motor for a college project (rocket is about 8ft long) and the box had "DANGER EXPLOSIVE" written all over it...the daft lady still slammed it down on the counter. She could have killed everyone in the office.
She also slammed down all of my expensive computer components :argh:
[QUOTE=Douchebags;28656873]So today i offically started working for a UPS store that is close by my house. I only work about 4-5 hours a day with every single sunday off. I get there about 9-9:30AM. This job i have to say is literally amazing. All day i help people either send items of different sizes and weight to where ever the hell they want to. Today we were sending a 50inch LCD tv to NY so I had to process the package measure the dimensions of the box and weigh it and of course make sure it was going to the correct place.
Back on track I also help sell the stores packing supplies, tubes, tape, glue, sticky notes.....Pretty much anything that does with shipping.
We do have a list of items we can't send which i find funny. We aren't allowed to ship items that are worth more then 49,999.99 OR human remains. Can't send illegal drugs, weapons, or alcohol.
it's over all a great place to work I recieve so many packages that end up all over the US. So makes me feel pretty cool to know that i made sure that package go to someone safely.[/QUOTE]
Sounds boring as shit.
Seriously it's almost like packing up to move, except it's other people's shit and you're not going anywhere.
Why do you think this is fun
No human remains?
Aw damnit.
Me and the local UPS guy are bros because back during the club live fiasco I got a ton of free Zunes so I tossed him one when he delivered them.
This one time, UPS put a really large TV I ordered in front of my door and didn't ring the bell.
I opened my door to go to the store and that slammed the box into the ground slamming the TV screen into bits.

I for one <3 UPS.
[QUOTE=amgoz1;28724695]I for one <3 UPS.[/QUOTE]
As do I. FedEx is a lot less reliable than UPS, and UPS is very prompt and delivers according to the times I specify.
[QUOTE=Mikeyspike;28658183]my laptop arrived within 3 days of ordering, it arrived.
It was scheduled to arrive about a week after it did. I was rather impressed. Especially since it stopped off at around 3 different countries :D[/QUOTE]
so this went through Europe? In the US going through 3 states really isnt that big of a deal...
When will my package come already?
I blame you, OP! :mad:

But on a serious note, as long as you pay by the recievement, UPS is the best one.
ITT: People confuse someone working in a shipping store with the delivery guy.
I used to ship shit all over the world as part of my job. It seems boring, but it really was fun at times. Having to repackage shit so as to save on international shipping expenses, or even just to make sure some electronics would survive the trip overseas was always enjoyable.
I hate how items "out for delivery" can take upwards of of NINE HOURS to get there. The fuck?
Title should've been "Shipping with UPS. The fun of worring about your package."
I ordered a pokemon yellow off ebay on Saturday. Shipped with UPS. Supposed to come later today or tomorrow.
I ordered the Orange Box, it came in two days. Thanks, UPS :D
Oh, to specify some more, the chick that delivered the game was super hot. Thanks for that too
[QUOTE=Esrange;28659959]My older sister works at UPS, I may go work for them after classes are done with.
She tells me that people use big boxes to stand on, little boxes as hackysacks and some people 'loose' boxes and open them up. Be careful if your sending something, wrap it plainly and [b]DO NOT[/b] write anything like "Electronics" or "Valuable" on it[/QUOTE]
Two family members cannot work together in the company of UPS. My mother worked there for 32 years as an accountant and told me I could never apply there when I got older because she worked there.

This makes no fucking sense, and is probably not true. Two family members probably can't work in the same department, but I'm sure they can work in the same company. What's you're saying is almost unheard of in business.
I just read the corporate code of conduct; nothing in there about family members being ineligible for employment. Your mom could even own a UPS Store (privately-owned) and you work at UPS (corporate) without necessarily violating their code.

I understand that but I find it awesome because you know the "shit job that a hobo does" could easily not like you talking down the the empolyees that deal with people's angry comments about pricing or why things aren't they way they want when it's company policy and easily make your life hell with the shit you order....... Just saying. And out of the jobs i've done this one is very detailed orientated you HAVE to be on your game. If you even send the wrong package 4 doors over it costs local UPS store around 400-600$ worth of fees and shit that they have to pay not UPS corperate.

Why do you think this is fun[/QUOTE]
I think it's fun because everyday i see people send the most random items. It's not like i want to stay at this job for my life. It's just a college job, also i like when people come in and have a shitty attitude and i make jokes with them and they leave smiling.
Although today really did blow, some chick came in and asked me to make copies of a paper and i walked with her to the machine and i was putting the paper on the tray and apperently her "ex" was their with here i think getting some paperwork copied for a divorce cause this chick just started to cry and would not stop so i just kept quiet like i had no fucking clue what to do. When she was about to leave she thanked me for being their cause her "ex" was too scared to yell at her in front of me....i'm a tall fucker that's not skinny but you know stalky. Made me kinda happy but sad that she had to cry in public.
I feel it will be like any other job love hate you know?

[QUOTE=geel9;28729834]I hate how items "out for delivery" can take upwards of of NINE HOURS to get there. The fuck?[/QUOTE]
That simply has to do with how many other packages have to go out before yours, i had my desktop case "OFD" and he didn't get to my house till like 4pm and he apologized and explained that there were about 734 other packages before he got to mine.
I also work for UPS and I have to say I love my job; I especially enjoy gently caressing each of your softly wrapped packages before sending them on their way.
[QUOTE=gokuman4594;28714651]Stop driving right past my house. *Website says "didn't answer door"*.[/QUOTE]
They always tell me "Delivery failed, no apartment number"
I live in a normal house, not an apartment :frown:
I like UPS boxes better. fedex looks queer as hells
[QUOTE=triFeral;28660332]Do the deliverers ever know what's inside the packages? I hate getting CPUs delivered, it's way too risky in my neighborhood.[/QUote]
I live in the middle of the ghetto, basically. But my neighbor's a gun nut, so whenever he sees a package on my porch he'll either have guns ready for people trying to steal them, or he'll take the package, and give it to me the second I pull into my driveway.
